ICD-10 codes for hyperlipidemia are categorized under the “E” codes in the ICD-10-CM manual. Here are some of the most commonly used codes for hyperlipidemia:
- E78.0 – Hypercholesterolemia
- E78.1 – Pure hyperglyceridemia
- E78.2 – Mixed hyperlipidemia
- E78.3 – Hyperchylomicronemia
- E78.4 – Other hyperlipidemia
In addition to these codes, there are also codes for secondary hyperlipidemia due to other medical conditions such as diabetes or hypothyroidism:
- E78.5 – Hyperlipidemia, unspecified
- E78.6 – Lipoprotein deficiency
- E78.7 – Disorders of bile acid and cholesterol metabolism
- E78.9 – Other disorders of lipoprotein metabolism
When coding hyperlipidemia, it’s important to note any accompanying medical conditions and any related complications. This information will help ensure accurate coding and appropriate treatment for the patient.
